exactly what I was going for thanks

thank you. brings some life and detail to the chassis

On 1/30/2023 at 10:55 AM, TransAmMike said:I'm assuming its a 1/24 scale engine??
with a digital file you can scale them to any size. its actually 1/25 but you can see how large it is. making headders took a while
thank you all for you wonderful comments !

Hi Jason, beautiful Chevelle indeed. One of my all time favourite body styles. (I’m biased being the owner of a ‘67 Beaumont)
May I ask where you sourced the tires and wheels? Hard to tell in the photos, but tires look like BF Goodrich TA’s ? The deep offset rallye wheels are beautifully done. I plan a replica of my car one day, and I am looking at sourcing some TA’s, and good, deep dish rallye wheels with those centre caps. Thanks in advance, and again, absolutely beautiful build.
Cheers, Steve
hello Steve
thank you!
you are correct tires are BFG/TA's. wheels and tires i 3d printed wheels are 3 peice making them a breeze to paint

HA! I saw someone else's version a minute ago! What paint colors did you use for this? That's what's been keeping me from building it. i think I have the original article somewhere but really doesn't touch on the paint. Awesome work!
if I remember correctly, the blue was duplicolor and the white is tamiya pearl white
thanks!

hello all,

new tin-work with bead rolled details and wheel tubs.
also made some turbo bullhorns
thats all for now.
some parts are just setting in place. all gaps and alignment will be done on final fit.

I've learned alot with this build. being my first attempt at a tube chassis car. now I've got a line up of uncommon cars to do when this one is finnished

update on the impala
I've re-made the firewall to allow more clearance for the turbo/down pipe assembly. still need some finishing but it made a big difference.
I've also made progress on the drives haft tunnel and safety tube as well as the drivers seat cage.
been playing around with the dash too. without something there it looks odd.
the dash looks nice with the body in place but when the body is off it looks really bulky. not really sure what ill do with that yet.
thats all for now.
as always tanks for lookin and comments are always welcome

Looks great! Have a link to those wheels?
thank you!
I purchased the files from Cults3d and printed them myself.
If you have a 3d printer, the designers are
MCS-Design (engine)
zforcemodelworks (wheel/tire)

Glad to see the Impala back on the bench Jason! 😊 It would be a shame to let this beautiful project gather dust... Obviously, it will move some when it is completed! 😁
thanks Francis!
no plans on pushing this one aside just life has gotten in the way. now after the holiday season I can get back to this project and look forward to making more progress
On 12/26/2021 at 6:49 PM, Dave72 said:This is a fantastic build so far! I love reading posts like this to learn about new techniques and where to get certain aftermarket parts and pieces. Thank you for sharing! I do have a question. What is your method for bending the styrene for the cage and chassis? Do you localize heat it? If so, what tools do you use? Thank you in advance. I will definitely be following along on this build.
Dave
thank you for your wonderful comment Dave
when I bend my styrene rod, I use a candle. I hold the part 3.5 or 4 inches away just enough to make it bend without distorting the diameter or stretching the plastic. it takes verry little heat.
hope this helps!

hello all

'76 Firebird Trans Am -
in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
Posted
old topic but ......
Have you considered using the restored kit from C1-Models?
1/24 Restomod ‘76 Firebird C1-TK032
This is made for the 1/24 Revell 78 trans am. It will give you the correct hood, front and rear bumper and tail lights to convert to a 76. With little work to remove the aero parts, you have everything you need. This is the route I took.
Hope this helps!
